A LITTLE HISTORY...

Built in the 1800s as a summer residence for Frederick Mitchell, sea captain and successful businessman, the property at 20 Main St. has a long and colorful history. Known as Solid Comfort in its early years, Green Chimneys is a unique and treasured property in the heart of historic ‘Sconset. Host to prominent Nantucketers and a large cast of characters throughout many storied years, this nine-bedroom, eight-bathroom home boasts a covetable patina only achieved through the passage of time. Guests have described the space as transformative, and no wonder — an incomparable feeling of nostalgia enchants and imbues one’s senses upon spending even the smallest amount of time in this home.

Expanded upon in the 1930s by Frederick P. Hill, the very same architect charged with a wave of updates to the ‘Sconset Casino, 20 Main St. has remained relatively unchanged since. The unique floor plan is due to Mr. Hill’s incorporation of what was once a carriage shed and barn into the main layout of the home. As one winds through the halls and passages, the personality of the space reveals itself. From the brass numbers emblazoned on the bedroom doors to the sprawling courtyard, the aura is that of a sophisticated summer camp.
